Product Information

Full details

This kenable 005820 audio cable is designed for users needing to extend existing 4-pole 3.5mm connections, commonly found on devices transmitting audio and video signals. Its key benefit is providing a reliable 1-meter extension with a secure, single coax design. A potential caveat is its specific 4-pole compatibility, which may not suit standard stereo audio-only applications.

FAQs

What is a 4-pole 3.5mm jack?

A 4-pole 3.5mm jack has four contact points, allowing it to carry signals beyond standard stereo audio, such as video, microphone, or control signals, in addition to left and right audio channels. Standard headphone jacks are typically 3-pole.

Can I use this cable for standard headphones?

While it might physically fit, this cable is designed for 4-pole connections. Using it with a standard 3-pole headphone jack may result in only partial audio or other unexpected behavior, as the 4th pole connection will be present but unused or incorrectly utilized.

What is the difference between this cable and a standard AUX cable?

A standard AUX cable typically uses a 3.5mm 3-pole connector for stereo audio. This kenable cable uses a 3.5mm 4-pole connector, enabling it to transmit additional signals like video or voice alongside audio.

What does 'Plug and Play' mean for this cable?

'Plug and Play' means the cable requires no software installation or configuration. You simply connect it to your devices, and it should work immediately.

How durable is the cable?

The cable is constructed with a full copper core for signal integrity and durability. It features moulded plugs with strain relief to protect the connection points from wear and tear.

Is this cable shielded?

The cable features a single coax design, which provides a level of shielding for the internal conductors to help minimize interference.

Troubleshooting

No audio or video signal after connecting

Verify that both the source and destination devices use a 4-pole 3.5mm connection. Ensure the cable is fully inserted into both ports. Try connecting the devices directly without the extension cable to confirm functionality.

Intermittent signal loss

Check for any damage to the cable or connectors. Ensure the nickel-plated ends are clean. Try a different 4-pole extension cable to rule out a cable defect.

Only audio is working, but not video/voice

Confirm that the 4th pole on both your device and the intended connection supports the signal type you are trying to transmit (e.g., video). This cable is designed to carry the 4th pole signal, but the devices must also support it.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extends 4-pole 3.5mm connections reliably.
  • Durable construction with copper cable and nickel-plated ends.
  • Offers secure connections suitable for multiple signal types (audio, video, voice).
  • Simple plug-and-play setup.
  • Compact and practical 1-meter length.

Cons

  • Specific 4-pole design may not be compatible with standard 3-pole audio devices.
  • Primarily for extending, not for connecting entirely new device types.
  • Single coax design might not be ideal for applications requiring separate shielded audio channels.
  • Limited to a 1-meter length.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This cable is plug-and-play. Simply connect the male 3.5mm plug into the female 3.5mm socket of your existing 4-pole cable or device, and connect the female 3.5mm socket to your destination device.

Compatibility: Designed specifically for 4-pole 3.5mm jack connections. Ensure your source and destination devices utilize this standard. It is compatible with devices like some Android boxes, cameras, and other AV equipment featuring 4-pole outputs. It is not directly compatible with standard 3-pole (stereo audio only) 3.5mm jacks without potential loss of functionality for the 4th pole signal.

Care: Keep connectors clean and dry. Avoid sharp bends or excessive force on the cable and connectors to prevent damage. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
